These are the same fonts I've got installed, files similar to
helvO12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz are the ones to look out for. If you have these
installed "xlsfonts -fn *helvetica*" should list them as

-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-1

And with these in place you should be able to reproduce my images. To
make sure I have one of them attached to this mail.
